    FAQs

    Can you substitute lime for lemon in guacamole?

    Although lime is more traditional, you can substitute lemon juice to prevent guacamole from turning brown and to give it an acidic balance in flavor.

    How do you store guacamole?

    Guacamole is best stored in a dish with a piece of plastic wrap or beeswax wrap pressed into the dip.

    How do you keep it from turning brown?

    Make sure you use lime juice (or lemon juice in a pinch). You will also want to eat it the day you make it (if possible).

    Can I make it ahead of time?

    You can make it up to 1-2 days in advance, however the longer you wait between making it and serving it will increase the chance of it turning brown. You can also freeze guacamole and use it later.

    Expert Tips

    • Although this 4 ingredient guacamole is made without cilantro, with no onion and without tomatoes, you can feel free to jazz it up according to your liking. Consider adding jalapeños to make it more spicy or yellow or white onions if you like them. Some of the best recipes include fun add-ins like red onion, salsa, Rotel, quinoa, roasted corn or with yogurt.
    • For kid-friendly modifications you can lessen the garlic or completely leave it out. You can also increase or decrease the amount of lime juice you use to make it a plain, non-spicy version for kids.
    • Making guacamole and out of lime juice? You can use lemon juice in a pinch.
    • Make this 4 ingredient guacamole with one avocado by dividing the ingredients by 4.
    • The best way to make this basic guacamole suit your taste is to season and taste. Feel free to add more salt or lime juice as your taste prefers.
    • If your avocados are ripe enough you should be able to peel them and remove the pit with your hands. If you need to cut the avocado to remove the pit, Real Simple has a great resource on how to cut an avocado.
